EDL 6502 - Reading & Writing Wkshop K-12

This course focuses on the relationship of the processes of
reading and writing. Students will participate in a writer's
workshop and demonstrate the ability to translate the
theoretical framework and insights gained from participation
in the reading/writing process into appropriate and useful
classroom environments and educational practices. Specific
topics include: effective strategies for pre-writing,
drafting, revising, editing, and publishing, using
literature as writing models, writing in different genres,
writing for authentic purposes, quantitative and qualitative
measures of evaluating writing, reading/writing across the
curriculum, conventions of standard written English,
individual differences among learners as they engage in the
writing process and adapting instruction to meet those
needs, and use of appropriate technology to support literacy
learning. In a field-based experience graduate students
will observe a learner engage in the writing process.
Prerequisite(s): EDL 5500.
